About Esther
Esther Lowery is a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 13 years of professional experience in Maryland and Connecticut. She works with people who are facing relationship and intimacy concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. Esther also helps clients dealing with trauma, grief, eating concerns, ADHD, and stress related to caregiving or compassion fatigue.
Her approach emphasizes practical strategies and clear steps. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new responses. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns, and client-centered work to keep sessions focused on the person's goals.
In a session she helps people notice the thoughts and behaviors that get in the way. Esther uses exercises, questions, and short experiments between meetings. She aims to keep work concrete so people can try changes outside the session and report back what worked.
Esther has worked across a range of issues including relationship conflict, parenting concerns, adoption and foster care topics, and emotional challenges tied to family of origin. She has supported people coping with career stress, commitment questions, and life changes such as separation or grief.
Sessions are conducted in English and reflect her training as an LCMFT and LMFT. People who want to start are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to see how the approach fits their goals.
How CBT and attachment work in online sessions
Esther uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small, practical changes. CBT focuses on clear steps and short experiments that can be practiced between meetings to test what works. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current interaction styles and helps people notice patterns in intimacy and communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Esther will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and she will adjust techniques as progress is tracked. The focus is on practical strategies the client can use in daily life, with regular check-ins to see what needs changing.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit appointments into a busy day, avoid travel time, and use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. If a person prefers in-person or a particular online setup, the therapist and client can discuss which format best supports the planned work.
